- 13 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
- 23 cups Dry Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
- 1/4 cups Milk
- 3 Tablespoons Extra-virgin Olive Oil, Divided
- 1 Tablespoon Dry Minced Onion
- 18 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes

- Mix well.
- Crumble turkey into the bowl and use a fork to blend everything together.
- Dont overmix.
- Form the mixture into golf ball size meatballs and place on a greased foil lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes, turn and cook for 6-8 minutes more (they dont have to be completely cooked, they will continue to cook in sauce).
- While meatballs cook, prepare the sauce.
- Over medium heat, saute the chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves in 2 Tablespoons of oil.
- Add crushed tomatoes, thyme, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste and more red pepper flakes if desired (which I usually do).
- Simmer.
- Place meatballs and any juice that has accumulated while cooking into the tomato sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until meatballs are fully cooked and sauce is thickened.
- Serve meatballs on a toased hoagie, 3 meatballs per sandwich.
